Strainer

Kukmulmang 국물망

A basic Korean broth is made with dried anchovies and kelp, and is used to flavor many iconic Korean dishes (like sundubu-jjigae, for example). These little tea strainers are useful for keeping the anchovies together while you boil the umami out of them, so they don’t break up into the broth, which make it bitter.

These strainers are pretty cheap and can be found at most Korean grocery stores and some tea stores.

Hey maangchi. I was looking up your strainer and i found that it is called a tea infuser. I just wanted to let the other viewer know this as well. I love your cooking show and your food. Maangchi Fighting!!
